quentyn Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 i took my hushpower apart today and wow was it gunky. It was so gunky i almost coudnt get the outer tube off.

shalfordninja33 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Its along shot but depending upon your line of work you may be able to find someone that has an industrial sonic cleaner. The insdustry I work in uses them for cleaning machine parts. The one we use is big anough to sit in, I work with a few rifle shooters and we pop all the mods in there at once, they come out like new.

Beware in case youve never used it before, it will wreck paint work after a while. Dunno about blueing as ive never tried it. Water it down loads. And sorry if im teaching you how to suck eggs 😂👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
